April 3

Lac Bay, Bonaire
18-21  5.6 Race  8'4" SVF

Very nicely powered at 21 knots, maybe slightly more power at 18 than the 5.5 Retro. The 5.6 Race jibes very nicely, I have no issues with this cam'd sail. It feels lighter than the Retro and while the Retro has this 'pull' on the sail when powered up, the Race is deceptive, no real pull but the power and speed are there...  On Port reach jibes, I need to be more aggressive with the left arm in pulling the sail across when flipping it. If I do that, I think the jibes can become carving jibes rather than stall jibes.
